By Lady Duff-Gordon rLucile"). THE ultra low evening gown la vanishing before the novlty and beauty of the charming high-necked evening eostumes. It la one of the signs of a saner tlmo and the growing mentality of wo men that eitreme decolletago Is fwned upon aa an evidence of bad tut a. The weloom extended my high-necked vnlng gowns by wo men of the bet taate and moat ex qulslt gowning has delighted me, for It shows that the pendulum of publlo taate la Indeed swinging away from the doll-faced, simpering beauty to the woman of brilliance, brains and strong character. It la eternally true that you ean Judge ft woman by her choice of clothes. The high-necked evening gown Is high aa compared with the candid decolletago of the past It shows the most graceful Una of the curve from the ear to tboulder.but etc pa three or four Inches below the point where the collar bonea moot Prlscllla, the Puritan maiden, per fect example of feminine modeaty, could have worn this modem eoa tumo without a blush. The drawing on his page Mua trata one of my Ideas for effective venlng wear. The dinner dress hero shown baa long sleevee, cover ing the hands and reaching to the first knuckles. This new evening tnodel Is carried out In a tfareo-toned gown, being In black and ray. The skirt is of soft, white charmeua. The top part of the skirt and the eoraaga are embroidered In eottoa bonne? work. nver this is draped a short, full tunto of gray chiffon. A. Vouch of black which alwaya adda elegance to a costume appears on the corsage, In a fold of black satla drawn boriaootally beneath the left sleeve and dlaappeering beneath the girdle of gray chiffon. The sleeve and drapery of the corsage are en tirely of white chiffon. Tola cos tume lsrendered more effective by wearing with It aa enormous black aatln bat, the trimming being a black Uasoi drooping at one side, with button of scarlet velvet The photograph Is that of one ef my most popular modela, a draped skirt f embroidered aatln, with wide, crushed girdle of the asm material and a eua at the side, and -a aash end at tb aide, both outlined by black satin piping la pleaalng contrast to ts coral shade of th aatln. The corsage la of white chiffon, loosely draped to form tb correct new "high" neck. Bom dinner end opera gowa are still wont low, but not so low aa the former faahion. I am going to add a final bit of Information to my earlier newa about the latest neck-ruffles, and I am Inclined to tbluk that, like the postscript of a letter, yon will find It the most interesting Item of all. For It records the Introduction of cluster of delicately shaded rose tnto the softness of ostrich feather boa, both of the rounded and the lancer variety, in both of which new positions the Sowers seem to gain a new fascination by their close con trast with the feathers. A little 6axe bin ostrich boa. for example, will have some shadowy pink rnae. nestled together at on side, with a guarding leaf or two of delicate green, the bouquet being ao placed aa to come Jnet beneath the left ear, where the boa is fastened about the Beck. And then, when tb drooping lancer ruffles are to be dealt with and decern ted, the arrangement of the flower Is suitably varied, a erica of slagls rose, all of different , and delicate coverings, being placed at regular intervals along tb whole length of U lovely thing.

To beat understand how to prevent a cold, let us perfectly understand Its causes. I aay cauae. sot eau for an authority on the subject has recently said that there are four con ditions that bring about the annoy ing and dangerous condition we call "a cold." There must be lowered vitality. In other words, a person may be In that state we describe as "run down." When we are run down or "seedy," aa they aay in England, our resistance is lesaened; we are like a besieged town whose walls ar fall ing. In this unprotected state w bar llttls chance agalnat a cold. A similar condition la fatlgu. W are more pros to catch cold when w are tired, because the good whit eorpuaclea In tb blood, the body defenders, ar lessened by weari neaa Alao fatlgu creates an exceaa of certain gaae In the body, car bonic acid gaa among others, and ttiea aelf-poleona weaken the body and open th door to cold. Now, how to prevent a cold. Keep your liver active. If It become laty take plenty of exercise to stir it Into activity. If th liver Is torpid, the poison It bould take care of Is cast upon the mucous membrane, Irritating It and causing catarrh. B euro that your digestion ts the beet and that the intestinal tract is kept clear. Unless you do this there may be an Irritation of the lining of the Inteatlnea that will cauae all of the alimentary tract to become ca tarrhal, rhis, in turn, will extend to th nose and throat To avoid Indi gestion, be careful that you eat only nourlahlng food Tuberculosis Is more common in the poorer quarters of every city, especially of London, and physicians have concluded that this is not because they do not have enough to eat, but because they eat too many starchy foods, as pastry and potatoes, and too many sweets, as candy. Prevent a cold by activity. Why do you catch a cold when you He down without any covering except the garmenta you ar wearing f Be cause when you are Inactive your body le relaxed and the temperature la lowered. Exerclae much, keep th blood flowing briskly, and you will generally avoid colda. A Considerate Jadge JUDGES w.r. very consld.rat. la tha old days.
